Went to our soup kitchen's writer's workshop yesterday. The topic I chose was "What was the dumbest thing you ever did for love?" Having rarely been in love I couldn't think of anything. Perhaps it was going to college. I wrote the dumbest thing I ever did was not to believe in the healing power of unconditional love. Hooray the Dalai Lama. Hooray Walt Whitman. Who could find then naive after the wars they went through?

Went to my GA meeting. Now a temporary chairman, it looks like I'll be elected chairman. They like me. Tonight I have dinner with my beloved.Will sort of report on that tomorrow...

"Food is love in trust" writes the poet Lorna Dee Cervantes. It doesn't seem to be just for babies.
